"We frequently visit Colchester and try out different restaurants and bars in the area. Looking for something new, we discovered The Foresters Arms. The staff were friendly and welcoming to everyone, including children and dogs. We decided to sit indoors due to the windy weather, but there was also outdoor seating available. We ordered from the menu, which had specials on a board. Three of us ordered ham omelettes and haddock with chips. The omelettes were large and delicious, with a generous portion of chips and salad. The haddock was also a good size, served with a choice of mushy or garden peas. We also shared some duck spring rolls as a starter. All the food was served piping hot and cooked to perfection. It was classic pub grub at its best. We stayed for a couple more drinks afterwards. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. The only suggestion is to walk through castle park instead of down East Hill, as it is closer to town. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Colchester."

We all enjoyed delicious meals at the Foresters Arms today for Sunday lunch. The home-cooked meals and desserts were fantastic. It was also great that the restaurant was dog-friendly. Thank you very much.

6 of us, 3 generations all enjoyed a wonderful Sunday lunch. Well cooked and well presented meals. The staff were happy to give the children what they wanted off the Sunday menu. The staff were friendly and efficient. Holly served us and runs a good establishment.

What a Gem. Lovely friendly little pub hidden away but well woth finding. Great welcome by very hospitable staff and locals. Not a large selection of beer but certainly a good one. Try the plum porter if it's on, delicious. Will be back when I'm next in town and I'll try the food. View menu

We went for fish and chips at this lovely local pub while staying nearby. It was really good food and we would be happy to go back (except we live 100 miles away! . We had come across to visit Radio Caroline during a broadcast that day from the Ross Revenge. The beer was good too and the landlord really friendly.

Discovered this lovely unreconstructed pub hidden away in Colchester. I had an excellent lasagne and garlic bread and an excellent pint of well kept Landlord's bitter. The chef, Louise, has a deft touch with the food. Not cheap, not expensive, but well worth the money. All served by cheerful barman Darrell and waitress Linda. What a find!

Our family had a wonderful time at this restaurant. Thank you to the attentive staff for taking such good care of us and serving amazing food! We highly recommend this place to anyone. The roast dinner was fantastic and we were completely full. The chocolate dessert was also delicious! The location is great too, so you can take a stroll in the park afterwards. View menu

This is my honest opinion. Booked a table for 4 with a dog at short notice, was given a choice of tables so as we had a dog we sat outside. Excellent choice of food,had food fom the Sunday roast menu and was not disappointed. Served at the table after ordering from the bar. This was a typical old Englidh pub really ,welcoming ,would definitely visit again and would recommend. Thank you

Fantastic pub, very welcoming and friendly.We went here the evening before my daughter's wedding. The staff were very friendly and made you feel welcome We had some delicious food .The owner of the pub gave us desserts on the house when he found out that Laura and Darren were getting married the next day and we could have had wine too! Looking forward to going there when they start their Sunday roast . Its hidden off the main road but a gem of a find . Thank you for making us feel so welcome .

"Carluccios was my first dining experience out following I was impressed by the measures put in place by the team and how well these were adhered to. I felt completely at ease throughout my meal, staff wore face masks, tables were socially distanced, staff...were visibly washing their hands/using hand sanitiser throughout and the cleanliness of the restaurant was unmatched. It was reassuring to see these protocols in place during these uncertain times. The staff really went above and beyond to deliver the authentic Carluccio’s experience despite the current challenges! My experience was amazing from beginning until end. I was greeted by management at the door and by the wonderful bar team, Gemma and Emma, who made me feel welcomed with their friendly greetings as I shown to my table. I was then greeted by my amazing waitress Sasina, who is an absolute credit to the team! She was so friendly and bubbly, very attentive to our needs and delivered an overall wonderful experience! Our drinks order was taken promptly, we were asked if we had any allergies (very impressive and offered bread and olives to start off with. Once our drinks arrived, our food order was taken quickly without any hassle. Sasina suggested the lasagna for my main with a side of the garlic and rosemary roast potatoes. Her suggestions were superb! Sasina was also very mindful of the fact my guest was a vegetarian, making sure to point out all the vegetarian options (and even went out of her way to get some vegetarian Parmesan cheese Our food came promptly and cannot be faulted. It tasted incredible (big thanks to the amazing chefs We had the garlic focaccia with cheese, tomato bruschetta and calamari to start which was delicious. The calamari is the best I have ever had! And for mains, we had the lasagna and the spinach and ricotta ravioli (which the lovely Sasina was able to change the usual sauce to a tomato one with a side of garlic and rosemary roast potatoes. Our meal was phenomenal and the service was even better! My mother and I will be returning to dine with the amazing team at Carluccios without a doubt! Overall, the restaurant had a lovely, welcoming ambiance. All of the staff were smiley and friendly and all made a point of saying goodbye to us as we left the restaurant. I look forward to coming back and trying more of the mouth-watering new menu! Thank you all for a terrific experience!"

"as you all should know, this girl loves to eat her! So I wanted to try something else I didn't have before. so yak yeti was your turn. I ordered online, although the restaurant is like a 5-minute drive away, (feeling fazy did not want to go to dress up, etc.) so I decided for my starter networks. the food was delivered within 30 minutes, it was still hot, bonus! container that they used were very good, so no spillage at all. popadoms were crispy, went nice with the dips. regarding eating, not only did it look delicious, it also melts delicious. then I tried and o to the m to the g, it was spicy, too spicy in the did that I continued to eat. my mouth has broken the food, as I said, looked delicious, so I tried another gift from the dish shot, still too spicy. Now I have no taste at all, but it is a Nepalese restaurant that they use spiced by many species, I guess. but whatever they use is too spicy for me, if I tried to continue, I would later be in jeopardy, because my just don't do spicy food. as a girl who loves to eat, I will not destroy this restaurant just because I cannot tolerate spicy foods. in future I will notify the restaurant to add not seasoned over very mild to future orders. this restaurant has a very good high review online so I encourage them to try it for themselves, just remember that eating can be sharp. otherwise they hope a wonderful day! love as always justine xxx styleoutyourhome"
